Looking Back at Boxing’s Biggest Fights of 2020

2020 ended up being one of the toughest years in history for professional sports. In March, all major sports essentially shut down their operations. It took months for any major leagues to begin operating again in the US.

The UFC ended up being the first major sports league to begin operating again. Several major boxing promotions quickly followed. Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions both started hosting events in Las Vegas.

Despite the difficulties, fans were treated to some massive bouts this year. One of the biggest upsets ended up taking place when Alexander Povetkin knocked out Dillian Whyte with an uppercut in the 5th round. It was a massive moment that had huge implications for the heavyweight division.

We saw another huge upset take place in the lightweight division this past October. Nearly all online sports betting websites listed Vasyl Lomachenko as the huge favorite to beat Teofimo Lopez. Incredibly, Lopez pushed the pace for all 12 rounds and earned the decision victory.

Earlier this month, Anthony Joshua earned another huge victory by defeating Kubrat Pulev via knockout. It was a must-win situation for the champion. This win now sets him up for a huge fight with Tyson Fury sometime next year.

Some feel that the sport of boxing is at its best right now. Interestingly, we continue to see the popularity of celebrity-style fights increase. There’s one now scheduled to take place this February!

Here’s Mike Tyson’s Expert Prediction on Mayweather vs. Paul

Unless you’re completely removed from combat sports, you’ve probably heard about the upcoming fight between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul. It’s a bizarre matchup between two huge personalities. Only one of these men is an actual boxer, though.

That of course is Floyd Mayweather, who is 50-0 as a professional. Many consider him the greatest boxer to ever live. He announced his retirement in 2017, yet has stayed around to take the occasional exhibition match from time to time.

This week, Mike Tyson was asked his opinion about this fight. The former heavyweight champion seems to feel it will be an easy fight for “Money” Mayweather. You can check out some of his most recent comments below.

“Listen, my ego says so many things, but my reality is they help boxing so much,” Tyson said. “Boxing owes these guys. They owe these YouTube boxers some kind of respect. They should give them some belts because these guys make boxing alive. Boxing was pretty much a dying sport. UFC was kicking our butts, and now we got these YouTube boxers boxing with 25 million views. Boxing’s back. Thanks to the YouTube boxers… Floyd’s gonna beat his f**kin’ a**. But it’s gonna be good! It’s gonna be good, he’s gonna fight back though!”

Tyson certainly isn’t alone in that prediction. Most pundits believe that Floyd Mayweather will easily get the victory over Logan Paul. The fight game is unpredictable, though, and there’s always a chance that Logan lands a huge punch.

There are new odds constantly coming out on this bout. For now, the odds on which man will win have remained the same.

Updated Odds on the Mayweather-Paul Fight

Floyd Mayweather had one of the greatest runs in the history of boxing throughout the 2000s and 2010s. His skill was undeniable and he only took a few hard shots in his entire career. He’s now 43 years old, yet continues to stay in fantastic shape.

BetOnline immediately began offering odds on Mayweather vs. Paul after the fight was announced. For now, Floyd is listed as the massive -2000 favorite. Logan Paul is a much larger man, but enters this bout as the +750 underdog.

If you believe Mike Tyson’s recent expert prediction on Mayweather vs. Paul, this will be an easy bout for the 50-0 former champ. That could earn you some serious cash on his odds of -2000. Most, however, won’t be willing to wager a huge amount of money to win a small purse.

Some of the available prop bets on this fight offer even better opportunities to win big. Perhaps the most popular is on whether or not this fight ends up going the distance. Floyd isn’t a knockout puncher, which is likely why there are odds of just -300 that it hits the final bell. The odds are currently set at +200 that the fight reaches the scorecards.

No one really knows what to expect here. In a normal world, Floyd Mayweather destroys Logan Paul from start to finish. If this year taught us anything, though, it’s that anything can happen. We’ll continue offering odds updates on this fight over the next few months!
